iPrint
Autodesk Inventor: 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018
Autodesk Inventor Professional: 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018
iPrint is an add-in that allows you to speed up and simplify all printing processes in an easy way.
Classic printing takes a long time because you must open the designs one at a time, set up the printers and finally launch the print.
All these long and tedious operations are completely abolished with iPrint as it takes care of doing these operations for you. It also allows you to make partial prints by selecting only the documents or sheets you want to print.
The use of the add-in is extremely simple and intuitive. Just open the assembly you want to start from and click on the print button. The add-in shows the entire document hierarchy and allows you to decide which documents to print and which to not print.
The capabilities of iPrint are not limited to printing but also allows you to define the order in which the drawings will be printed, for example in alphabetical order, list order, etc.
Last but not least, iPrint allows you to enter the quantity of components directly into the drawing. The quantity is calculated before printing and added only for as long as it is necessary and then removed.
